Once you realize that Trump and all the MAGA Republicans are working for Russia and Saudi Arabia, not America, everything they do makes sense.

It’s going to be quite a hearing before Judge Ho tomorrow on the DOJ‘s motion to dismiss the atom’s case. When the judge asks Ed Sullivan, who stepped up and agreed to sign the motion, why he did so, you can bet that he’s going to tell the truth and cite Bove’s strong arming. No reason to lie.

for over four centuries, the Gulf of Mexico has been sitting there, minding its own business, doing its watery thing. everybody was happy, and nobody thought twice about it. but that was before Mad King Donny rose to power, stamped his tiny little porcelain doll feet, and threw a technicolor shit-fit because some other country’s name was all over his water. it’s all so clownfuckingly childish.

ninety years ago, Germany became the original Nazi Bar. it took an entire world war to restore order to the joint. does Germany want to go through that again? no, they fucking well do not — and so they’re nipping that shit in the bud. can you blame them?

Germany’s leaders, as you might well imagine, are livid that two condescending American assholes are trying to tell them how to run their country.
